MONEY-WRAPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 425,910, dated April 15, 1890.

Application filed November 29, 1889. Serial No. 331,874. (No model.)

' to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in money-Wrappers; and it consists in a wrapper of the form hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 shows the blank from which the wrapper is formed. Fig. 2 shows the first fold that is made. Fig. 3 shows the second fold that is made. Fig. 4 shows the third fold. Fig. 5 shows the final folds.

vA represents the blank, which is creased along the line B, where the blank is to be folded upon itself, and then along the lines 0 D E, where the edges of the blank are to be folded, and along the lines E, where the ends are to be folded. In each side of the blank, near the center thereof, is formed a recess, as shown at G, so that when the wrapper is folded and ready to receive the sealing-Wax the ends will not so nearly cover the back of the wrapper as would otherwise be the case. Just below these cut-out portions G are formed the extending portions S, which are cut away at their upper ends, so as to form the angular gummed portions I, and at their lower ends, as shown at II. By forming these extensions S and cutting them away, as shown at H, when the blank has been folded on the lines 0, B, D, and E, the gummed portions I are left extended, as shown in Fig. at, ready to be folded on the linesF and pasted to the blank near its center. The blank is guinmed at the points L I J, and by forming and folding it, as shown, the gummed portions I L are left the body, as shown.

uncovered and free to be pasted to the blank when it is given the last folds, and the two projections are brought near together, ready to receive a seal, as shown in Fig. 5.

As shown in Fig. 1, the blank is first folded upon the line B, and the gummed edge is pasted down parallel with the folding-line E. The outer edge or flap N is then folded down upon the gummed edge J, and then the two edges N J are folded over upon the body of the wrapper, as shown, leaving the two ends P projecting outward in a straight line with The edges or folds N J are only fastened together along the edge J, but are not fastened at any other point. The ends P are then folded down, and the gummed portions I L are pasted to the back of the package. These two ends approach each other, as shown, and then the wax seal will cover the edge of the folded flap and the two corners of the two end pieces. At the same time that the corners are closed over the gummed surfaces I L are moistened, so that the ends are closed both by the seal and the two gummed surfaces.

A pocket constructed as above described is especially intended for the transmission of money and valuable papers.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- A wrapper formed from a blank having in its sides the cut-out portions G, at or near the center thereof, the projections S below the said cut-out portions, the creases B, C, D, E, and F, and the gummed surfaces I J L, the proj ectionsI when folded extending near each other, so as to be secured by a seal, substan tially as shown.-

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
